Meandering Around England in a Motorhome
Without doubt, our country has some of the most beautiful scenery and best places to visit in Europe. The Yorkshire Dales and moors, Wales, and the stunningly beautiful Scotland amongst them. More and more people are also beginning to realise that one of the best ways to see this beauty is by travelling in a motorhome. There is nothing better than to find a nice spot on Dartmoor and camp up for a few days, with a stream running nearby, the country sounds of sheep, wild deer and cattle grazing feet away, or to book at one of the many hundreds of pretty resorts around the country. All from a self-contained home on wheels, with all facilities onboard! The only problem historically is that a lot of the local councils didn't want us camping on their patch. Fortunately the tide is turning; with more people buying motorhomes now, more councils are accommodating us. With solar panels and all facilities onboard, why pay hundreds of pounds to sit on a patch of grass when we can park right by the beach? There are many pleasant and attractive places around the country; unlike France they don't all have welcoming Aires, but they are slowly coming around to it.My book covers just a few of these little gems around the country from Cornwall to Kent, from Kent up to Hadrian's Wall. From Pembrokeshire in Wales to the Lake District... seek and explore!

Elements of Yacht Design
"This book is intended to be a practical and concise presentation of some of the operations involved in designing yachts of all types. Cumbersome and impractical methods which are so often found in more pretentious works on naval architecture have been avoided. Those presented have been in everyday use by the author." Thus wrote Norman L. Skene in the preface to the fifth edition of Elements of Yacht Design.Skene's is one of the most famous books on yacht design ever written. First published in 1904, Skene did several revisions, the last of which was published in 1938 and is reprinted here in its original form. In 1962, the book was completely revised by Francis S. Kinney and republished as Skene's Elements of Yacht Design. Kinney's last version was published in 1973 and it is long out of print. While the experts are divided on the relative merits of the different editions, it appears that there is strong demand for Skene's original work. At last the book is again available to the many boatbuilders, aspiring naval architects, and sailors who need it for frequent reference. The index has been completely revised and expanded to make it more useful for today's readers.

Sport in Hong Kong
This edited volume fills a gap in this understudied niche of sport in Hong Kong by offering an interdisciplinary inquiry that acknowledges sport as a global force that shapes local culture, identity, and politics. As such this publication accommodates perspectives across sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, policy studies, and history to offer both a rich and complementary account of sporting culture in Hong Kong's socio-historical context. In the past, Orientalist myths told through movies and advertisements have produced an idealized image of Hong Kong as a city of hybridity, a place where "East meets West," with a futurist skyline that has inspired countless steampunk and sci-fi novels. However, the last few years have significantly changed the global perception of this Asian metropolis amidst the formation of a new geopolitical frontier. This volume is not so much a documentation of a peculiar sports system, but a timely discussion and analysis of Hong Kong as a postcolonial place in crisis mode.

A Hero’s Journey
A Hero's Journey Beyond Little Norway and Olympia Sports Camp is a compiled history of the Olympia Sports Camp in Huntsville, Ontario, through the lens of its founder and inspiration, Dave Grace, the hero of the book's title. The hero's journey of the title is Dave Grace's adaptation of the writings and teaching of philosopher Joseph Campbell. The basic tenet of the Dave Grace's hero's journey is that heroes all go through a 12-step journey-from their own comfort zone to the unknown and all its challenges-to a new normal where the hero bestows knowledge learned on others in order to help them on their journey. Dave Grace's foundational belief is that we are all heroes on our own path and who we become on our journey is more important than the accomplishments we achieve.A Hero's Journey chronicles the people and places that make up the history of the camp, while also serving as an inspirational guidebook for readers to each become the hero of their own journey. This book also examines the history of the land on which the camp has been built, from its Indigenous origins to the European settlement of the 1800s, and to the use of the land by the Norwegian Air Force during World War II. The book takes readers on a journey through the various stages related to the development of the camp, first established in 1974. The book is built on a collection of stories related to mentorship, sports psychology, and community building, as well as interviews of past campers, coaches, and others with a longtime association with Olympia. With this book, author Chris Dooley honours Dave Grace and the many others who have been integral to the history of the camp and its land.
